Older Lexington homes might be affected by new remodel limitations introduced by the Environmental Protection Agency. For contractors taking part in remodels on houses built prior to 1978, the EPA requires lead training, certification, and safe work practice accountability. They hope to to remove the public health worry of lead poisoning by the year 2010.
Lead was used in paint for many years and is an especially toxic metal. It can result in a range of health issues and children under the age of six are more at risk because their nervous systems are not yet entirely developed.
